Cell phones are connected to base stations (cell phone towers) using radio signals. Some phones have GPS, which is used to determine the location if the user allows the location services to be turned on.
What are typical LBS?
GPS is used for navigation, finding local information quickly, sending coupons, etc
Who introduced the first commercial LBS for mobile phones?
NTT-DoCoMo in July 2001

No, mobile operators always know the location of every mobile phone connected to their service within a few hundred meters.
Smartphone location-based services on the rise, study says
before 1995 Internet Explorer was the main web browser for years and years, so it was already installed on computers. However, around 2003, Safari was introduced, and in 2004 Firefox was introduced. After that, there were more options for people to do. Before Safari and Firefox, HTML, SSL, Java, Flash, etc. were used, but after many more programs and websites were utilized to revolutionize the internet. After Chrome was introduced around 2008, different websites and programs were used to make internet life even cooler!
HTML 1.0 is the first release. Not many people were involved, and language was very limited.
HTML 2.0 = HTML 1.0 +a few new features. Web design standard until 1997
HTML 3.0 = People were getting more into HTML. Websites wanted to enhance the look of their sites. Netscape made HTML users happy by introducing proprietary tags and attributes to their Netscape browser. These were called extention tags. Other browsers tried to replicate this, but failed cause it woudn't look right on their own.
Dave Raggett introduced an HTML draft for HTML 3.0, which had many more features. But browers were slow to implement, and those specs were abandoned.
People in charge noted this and future improvements were designed to be modular, which meant they could be added in stages.
HTML 3.2 = W3C, or World Wide Wed Consortium was founded to standardise HTML and keep it evolving in the right direction because browers were gerrting fiesty with eachother and their tags.
HTML 4.01 = Large evolution of HTML standards. New supporting preesentational language-->Cascading stylesheets. Recommended by W3C in '97 and became standrd in '98.
XHTML 1.0 = joint standard with HMTL 4.01.
HTML 5 = People working on XHTML 2 got sidetracked and taking HTML 5 now. Looked unrealistic and clear that a new approach was needed. Technology fans started to build their own code outside W3C procedures.Code must be properly written once it reaches the reader's browser

12 Tips to become a better smart-phone photographer
All about lighting
Never use mobile zoom
Lock exposure and focus
Edit, edit, edit… only post the best edited photos
Filters don’t change the image, basics are still important
Hip-level candids are the way to go
Taking multiple images of the same thing from different angles, even just how the light falls on the object changes the perception of the image
Make a list of what you want to photograph beforehand and go find it, rather than it finding you
Study other photographers and see what works and what doesn’t work
